Chapter 166 Madman and Liar
Chapter 166 Madman and Liar
As Tasolomo got stuck, more and more players naturally focused their exploration on another map.
Gales Depression.
A gloomy and dark sky, a dirty and bubbling swamp, and... a small boat with difficulty sailing.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
On the boat, the man in the blood-stained clothes suddenly twitched and let out a nervous smile.
The noise scared the poisonous snakes in the tree so much that they hissed and stared at the man with their scarlet eyes.
Crunch.
The man in the blood-stained clothes regained his normal complexion. He twisted his neck and rubbed his face which was twitching.
He would laugh crazily from time to time, and his body was out of control... This kind of crazy behavior is really not something a normal person can play...
But Wang Dao is obviously not a normal person.
In other words, not a normal player.
Although the Blood Priest's war spirit combined with the corresponding weapons and equipment will cause his character's mental disorder, he does not dislike it like other players, but instead regards it as a major "feature".
Swish!
Suddenly, a small splash of water appeared in the swamp, and a monster with sharp teeth resembling a crocodile came towards Wang Dao to bite him.
Wang Dao grabbed the other person's neck without even turning his head, slowly turned his head and grinned.
Looking at the little crocodile monster struggling in his hand, Wang Dao did not kill it directly. Instead, he gave it a big kiss.
"Hmm~!"
Then, he grabbed the little crocodile monster's tail, spun it violently for several weeks, and threw it out with a whoosh.
With a snap, the little crocodile monster fell into the swamp and didn't dare to look back. It dug its way out of the swamp and escaped as if it was escaping for its life.
Then, Wangdao's expression calmed down again... I don't know whether it was because he lost control of his character or his true nature was exposed.
'Where is the Marsh Serpent... the Marsh Serpent...?'
Looking at the highly repetitive and unrecognizable scenes around him, Wang Dao couldn't help scratching his head.
After many players flocked to the Gales Swamp map, the characteristics of this copy also left many players scratching their heads.
get lost.
This is the first challenge players will encounter when entering the Gales Depression.
Even though the players put their heads together and gathered all the intelligence, they could only come to one helpless conclusion - there was nothing they could do.
Every player who enters the Gales Depression will be affected by the omnipresent mysterious force and become lost.
The guidance of the spirit candle can certainly provide direction and ensure that one can eventually reach the milestone spirit candle, but...how long it will take along the way is hard to say.
Therefore, most players can only rely on luck.
Some lucky players can find other milestone candles or some key items and monsters by turning left and right.
But some unlucky players are likely to get lost for a long time...
Therefore, the reference value of each player's personal experience to other players has greatly decreased.
Under such circumstances, naturally, many players began to care about the planner's family again.
sieve!
The sudden movement in the swamp suddenly attracted Wangdao's attention.
After seeing the source of the sound, his eyes lit up.
After Wangdao muttered a few words hurriedly while holding the human skin letter, blood gathered and the sacrificial zombie appeared on the spirit fire sail.
Then he rolled up his sleeves and dived into the swamp full of mud and filth.
After a huge splash, the swamp returned to calm.
"Hey hey hey..."
But soon, the twitching Wangdao floated up again, and the character was forced to drink a few sips of strong swamp tea as he lost control.
"Pooh!"
After spitting out the sticky filth in his mouth, Wang Dao's eyes focused, and with a wave of his left hand, his bloody tongue like a long whip extended flexibly and directly tied up the free monster.
The next moment, the bloody tongue contracted, and the bound swamp copper snake began to struggle and counterattack frantically.
But Wangdao was not panicked at all. He used Xinbu and Blood Tongue alternately and started a battle with him directly in the swamp.
But, during the fierce fight between the two sides.
A giant dark green fish monster suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the swamp and greedily swallowed both of them in one gulp.
With a splash, the mud exploded and the swamp returned to calm again.
"Hey, it's done!"
After escaping with the help of the sacrificial zombie, Wang Dao, who was covered in mud, weighed the snake pupil in his hand and chuckled.
After retracting his snake pupils, he glanced at the somewhat empty Spirit Fire Sail and scratched his head.
Then he picked up the letter and whispered again, and the two sacrificial zombies appeared again.
After randomly selecting one of the sacrificial zombies, Wang Dao rolled up his sleeves and lifted it up with a muffled groan.
After looking around and finding a relatively sturdy dead tree, he shook it twice and threw it out.
“It’s so embarrassing!”
As he threw the ball, he shouted loudly, causing a commotion below in the swamp.
With a "puff", the fallen zombie was pierced through the abdomen by the branch and was hanging on it in a weird posture, with a numb look on its face.
See this situation.
Wangdao nodded in satisfaction and wiped it on his butt.
Anyway, the clothes are all red, so you can’t tell.
As long as he placed the sacrificial zombies every once in a while, he wouldn't be afraid of monsters suddenly emerging from the swamp like what happened just now.
Of course, if the sacrificial zombie is too far away from him, it will automatically dissolve.
But Wangdao didn't care. A sacrificial zombie wouldn't consume much of his faith power, so he just threw it away.
He has been doing this all the way and has never had any problems.
……
On a small boat far away in the swamp, a man in a gray robe slowly put down the telescope in his hand that was wriggling like an anemone.
"Oh oh oh~"
"Playing with corpses, bloody and crazy... actually created this extremely evil fire of life."
"It's really a scary candlelight..."
The man was amazed. There was no doubt that he had seen everything Wang Dao had just done.
If Li Miao was here at this moment and saw the look in this man's eyes, he would definitely be stunned for a moment.
Because this man's appearance is exactly the same as "Leti" in the "Shadow of Fool" that appeared in the Casa Peninsula map before.
Of course, the clothes they wear are different.
However, Roger would not be surprised.
Although Leti of the Casa Peninsula was burned to ashes by him, there is more than one Leti in the Shadow of Deception.
"The righteous Leti cannot sit back and watch as you evil guys burn wantonly..."
"But these evil guys are also very cunning. I have to think of a good idea..."
After Leti finished speaking righteously, he stroked his chin and began to think.
……
After obtaining the snake pupil of the swamp bronze snake, Wang Dao began to move in the direction indicated by the snake pupil.
We encountered some swamp monsters along the way, but most of them were not threatening.
Moreover, compared with some of the extremely terrifying monsters before, although the monsters in this swamp cannot be said to be good-looking, at least they are not that scary.
If you have seen too many parasites, rotting prisoners and the like, looking back at these monsters, you may even find them a little cute.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no danger in this swamp.
"Blasphemy! Blasphemy!"
"Bury! Bury!"
Sharp, long sounds came from the mouths of several giant mosquitoes. They were covered in vines and green algae and held twisted wooden bows.
[Mosquito Archer], level 18, ember grade monster.
Although it doesn't seem to be a big threat, it still scores points.
For example, the current situation is not very friendly to Wang Dao.
Because at this time he had just driven into a narrow strip of land covered with dead trees, in the eyes of these mosquito archers, he was a living target.
"Kill! Kill!"
The mosquito archer screamed a few times, and after his long mouthparts left a clear layer of mucus on the arrow, he bent the bow and pulled the arrow in the air, aiming at Wang Dao below.
"A mosquito? It's this big?"
Wangdao was amazed. If he inhaled it, he would probably turn into a raisin.
While he was talking to himself, he did not forget to dodge the incoming arrows.
He lifted up a sacrificial zombie, and the other sacrificial zombies consciously surrounded him, forming a human shield that blocked the flying arrows.
Puff, puff! The sound of arrows piercing flesh and blood continued to ring out. Wang Dao, who was hiding in a group of sacrificial zombies, observed for a moment in the gap, then secretly stretched out his hand and sent out a bloody attack, calling out the names of these mosquito archers one by one.
"Terrible! Terrible!"
After killing several mosquito archers, the remaining mosquito archers screamed, seemed to be frightened, and began to flee.
Seeing this, Wang Dao pushed away the sacrificial zombie, looked around, and then put his hands on his hips.
"You damn mosquito, you should be slapped to death!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The consequences of the character losing control happened again.
Wow!
Just at this moment, as the swamp was churning, a huge bronze palm suddenly stretched out from the swamps in front and behind, and slapped towards him and Linghuofan with heavy force.
Got it!
Seeing this, Wangdao's pupils shrank and his scalp felt tingling.
This is exactly what I said!
Get out of the way, get out of the way!
Stop laughing, let me hide for a while! I know!
Wang Dao was so anxious that his face turned ferocious, and he tried his best to regain control of his body.
call--
The two huge palms came with a whistling sound, and sticky mud kept falling.
Bang!
He suddenly put his palms together, blood and mud splashed everywhere, and a huge sound wave accompanied by air currents swept across the entire swamp, causing a considerable wave.
"call……"
"Almost broke."
In the distance, Wang Dao, who was hanging on a tree branch, wiped the sweat off his face, then struggled free from the branch with a grin, and took out the Spirit Fire Sail again.
It turns out that those mosquito archers were not afraid of him as a mosquito killer, but of the pair of bronze hands that could kill them with one slap!
No wonder they ran!
Wangdao threw a piece of recovery wax into his mouth, and the wound on his abdomen gradually healed.
But...how should he get through next?
If I take a detour, then given the characteristics of this copy, it would be difficult for me to come here again, and the possibility of finding the swamp house in front is infinitely close to zero.
That’s right, the reason why he didn’t put away the Spirit Fire Sail and leave the place immediately was naturally because of the special situation ahead.
At the end of the narrow road surrounded by dead trees, a small wooden house is looming.
And the snake's pupils are also pointing here.
That's why Wang Dao was reluctant to leave.
If the situation had not been critical, he would not even have been willing to use a scapegoat, for fear of getting lost again.
After thinking for a long time.
Wang Dao finally turned his gaze to the sacrificial zombie beside him and chuckled.
In this case, I can only make Brother Zombie suffer a little longer.
……
Bang!
The giant bronze palm reappeared, and with one slap it turned the sacrificial zombie wandering on the water into meat paste, and then gradually disappeared.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Dao accelerated and sprinted forward.
There was another heavy slap from behind, but it was obvious that it no longer posed any threat to Wang Dao.
After successfully passing the traps in the swamp, Wang Dao smiled and drove towards the direction of the small house.
Of course, he didn't forget to embarrass himself along the way.
There seemed to be no monsters or traps harassing the back, and Wangdao successfully climbed to the location of the small house.
The milestone spirit candle also appeared again.
After touching the fire, Wangdao looked elsewhere.
This seemed to be a small earthen slope, slightly higher than the swamp. The soil was very soft and covered with moss. In front of the cottage, there was a fence surrounding it, and some strange-looking herbs seemed to be planted there.
Flower buds burning with green flames, grass whose leaves open and close like clapping hands, and fruits with spirals like pineapples planted in the soil...
[Poison Flame Bud][Cheerful Grass][Nightmare Fruit]
Magic potion seeds?
This looks like something I can take back and plant!
Seeing this, Wangdao's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to reach out to pick the fruits, he suddenly heard the door of the wooden house creaking open.
An old woman with wrinkles all over her face and wearing tattered clothes was leaning on a cane, and her cloudy eyes saw everything.
[Old woman in the wooden house]
npc?
Seeing this, Wang Dao, who was caught red-handed, was embarrassed and surprised, and his hand was still in the air.
But before he could react, the old woman in front of him spoke again, her eyes numb, as if she was reading from a script.
"Take it to... the temple... and worship it..."
As she spoke, she handed something to Wangdao, then sat down beside the hut with the help of her crutch, staring ahead with a blank face, and no matter how Wangdao asked questions, she did not respond.
[Obtained: Old Letter Cloth]
【Old letter cloth】
[Type: Weapon]
[Effect: Slightly increase prayer damage]
[Description: An old letter cloth, which seems to contain a mysterious power.]
Seeing this, Wang Dao felt a little confused and could only look down at the old letter cloth she gave him...it was like a rag.
He looked for a long time but didn't see anything unusual.
After thinking for a moment, Wangdao turned around and tried to use the letter cloth, but found nothing unusual.
The old woman did not dissuade him and continued to stare blankly ahead.
Helplessly, Wangdao could only return to the milestone spirit candle and teleport back to start asking other players.
Of course, he also kept an eye on it and asked other players if they had encountered this old woman.
After all, who knows if this thing is an NPC that already exists in the dungeon or some kind of salary-stealer?
Soon other players responded to him and dispelled his doubts.
"I also met this old woman, but she didn't give me anything. She just kept talking about temples and shrines."
"Hey, I took all the herbs. There are still a few bottles of potions in the house! Remember to search them, brothers. She won't say anything."
"I did see the hut, but I was slapped to death by the bronze hand in front of me, damn!"
"A piece of cloth? How did it trigger?"
"Hmm... maybe it's a hidden quest item, let's give it a try."
"I envy you guys who are so lucky, I'm still lost... (crying)"
"..."
After communicating with other players, Wangdao basically confirmed that this old woman was indeed an NPC existing in the copy.
However, Wang Dao was not quite sure why she only gave him a piece of letter cloth.
After returning to the cabin.
Wangdao once again looked at the old woman suspiciously, and even waved his hand in front of her, but the latter did not react.
"scare!"
Wang Dao suddenly swung his knife and scared her with his teeth bared.
But the old woman still didn't react.
Seeing this, Wang Dao could only shrug his shoulders, then cleaned up the hut and the herbs, then walked outside with satisfaction and boarded the Spirit Fire Sail again.
"Hehe, hahaha..."
Before leaving, Wang Dao's character started laughing uncontrollably in a low voice.
"Forget it, let's get rid of this bloody tongue first."
Wang Dao slapped his face, muttered something, put away his bloody tongue, and then touched the fire and left.
And what he didn't notice was.
Just as he was laughing crazily in a low voice, the old woman behind him suddenly shuddered all over.
Until Wangdao left here completely.
The old woman's face suddenly wrinkled into a ball, and Leti came out from behind her, cursing in the direction he left.
"This damn candlelight spirit is so evil! Its sins are unforgivable!"
"Is this guy a locust? Damn it!"
Looking at the messy herbs on the ground, Leti felt extremely distressed.
Please give me a monthly ticket!
